"Nosatsu Junkie" is a shoujo manga series written and illustrated by Ryoko Fukuyama. The story centers on Naka Yukari, a high school student who dreams of becoming a top model despite her plain appearance and lack of confidence. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she encounters Ginka Urushibara, a popular and strikingly handsome model who is secretly a fan of Yukari’s amateur modeling blog. Ginka, impressed by her unique style, offers Yukari a deal: he will help her become a professional model if she agrees to date him for three months. Yukari reluctantly accepts, setting the stage for a romantic and comedic journey.

As Yukari navigates the competitive world of modeling, she faces numerous challenges, including her insecurities, the pressures of the industry, and her growing feelings for Ginka.

The supporting cast, including fellow models and industry professionals, further enriches the story by providing additional perspectives on the modeling world and its challenges.

Throughout the series, the dynamic between Yukari and Ginka is marked by humor, misunderstandings, and heartfelt moments.
